EASTER

Easter was very exciting once again, as we all tramped off on our annual Easter Hunt.  This year the Easter Bunny' s clues were based on the song 'The Gambler'.  "It was a warm autumn evening... you've got to know where to find them, know how to eat them..."  

Who knew the Easter Bunny loved that song!

QUEENSTOWN

Easter Monday we headed to Queenstown for a day of adventure. 

 It was a beautiful day and we all had fun at the luge.

LILLIANA

Lilliana had a special dedication ceremony and we had a lovely day celebrating with them.

 

 KATE

Kate's flash hair style.

 

  

 THE BIKE TRACK

We discovered a bike track at Wallacetown which was a great challenge for all and quite an adventure to take Grandma on.  Grandma stayed with us for a whole week and we loved having her.  The kids really enjoyed showing her all their tricks and what they do in their week and Mum loved her company.  Tho it seems that Grandma took all the photos on her camera (these are hers), and we don't have a single one of her.  Silly Mummy.

 

 

 

Flynn provided Grandma with continuous amusement.  She has renamed him Sir Edmund and promises to buy him crampons and an ice pick for his birthday, after finding him climbing to the top of the pantry using the shelves as a ladder. Flynn loves to climb everything, and run, and jump and do forward rolls and hang off monkey bars...  He keeps us all on our toes that's for sure.

 

AUNTY SARAH, MACKENZIE AND ALEX

We were so lucky to have lots of new, wonderful visitors when Grandma moved onto visit with Emma, Max and Lilliana.  

We all had many adventures with Aunty Sarah, Mackenzie and Alex.

We took them to Te Anau and did all our favourite things there, scootering, biking, the playground, mini golf, pancakes, walks...  Grandma and Emma came and joined us for a day too.  It was fantastic.

 

 

HANGING OUT WITH GOOD GOOD FRIENDS!

Tom gave Kate a braiding book at Christmas time, so Mum got to practice lots of new hair styles for the girls.

 

 

Alex and Lachie loved to dress up and play.  Lachie taught Mackenzie and Alex all about Cats and Alex taught Lachie about Peter Pan, which is his new favourite!
